429. SARAH ORNE JEWETT A.L.S., 4pp. 8vo., "148 Charles St.", Jan. 29 [n.y.] to "Mr. Clement". In part: "...I have never been so eager for the success of any book as The Life of H.B.S. [Harriett Beecher Stowe] ...I long to have more and more readers and to make it catch the widest public attention. It holds such lessons...publishers do less to make the public remind itself of books...I was glad to hear that the London publishers were just sending over for another edition..." One corner chip, else very good. $300-400
